WILLIAM H. H. YOUNGS, a dairyman of Jackson township, settled in Bremer County, on his present place in 1864. He owns a beautiful farm of 212 1/2 acres, which is under excellent cultivation and valued at $50 per acre. In 1865, he turned his attention to cheese-making, building the first cheese factory in the county. He now keeps an average of thirty head of cows, from which he manufactures 1, 000 pounds of cheese monthly. He also buys milk enough to make another 1,000 pounds. Mr. YOUNGS is a native of St. Lawrence County, New York, where he was born July 22, 1840. He is a son of Amasa and Sibyl (HUTCHINS) YOUNGS.

They were married September 14, 1821, and have been members of the Methodist church for over fifty years. Their home is now in Jackson Township, where they expect to pass their remaining years. William H. H. was reared and educated in his native State. During 1860, he was joined in wedlock with Miss Jane STEELE, who was born in 1841, and is a daughter of Joseph STEELE, of St. Lawrence County, New York.
